A long long tuime ago crusader warriors
Decided to declare war upon
The men of Vytautas the Great and Jogaila
Who took up the challenge of the foe
Laid out was the plan
And summoned were the warrior
Destined to go forth to enemy lands!

Hail! Hail! Vytautas the Great
March! March into fire and war
Hail! Hail! Vytautas the Great

Crusader warriors started to attack
And fell upon the swarms
Of Vytautas the Great
Kindled was a fight, a fight to the death
Not one brave soul was lost that day!

Hail! Hail! Vytautas the Great
March! March into fire and war
Hail! Hail! Vytautas the Great

The legions of Vytautas the Great
Fought bravely and proud
After a long-tasting battle
Crusader warriors finally surrender

Hail! Hail! Vytautas the Great
March! March into fire and war
Hail! Hail! Vytautas the Great

By the rune stone he stands
A lone wanderer from afar
Wolves gathered round in packs
Poetry he chants
Weaving magick strands

Lord of the spear
Welcome to our land
Our hospitality for a god
Pray tell us where you've been
Storyteller wise one

(And the Raven god recounts many a saga)

Under a roof of gold
With the rainbow forever in sight
Dwell warriors bold
They taste the mead of the wind
Always loud they sing

When in the sky
Wild thunder strikes
Thy ravens come again!

One eyed god, father mighty of all
With swords upraised to the crystal dome
Of a sky wherein thy ravens fly
We're so proud so strong, forever free!

God of poets, god of magic
From your breath the four winds blow
From your eyes the eternal flame flows
From your lips the oath of fire is sealed

Wodem, I am your true son and heed honor's call!
I fight for thee and in thy name shed blood and bane!
Vidurr the destroyer – master of havoc, unrivaled warrior!
Hnikarr the inflamer – rde above the sea dragon slayer
Sigford, father of victory – thine gifts I seek on the battlefield tonight
Yggr – terror of Frankia and eastern men
Conquer all the world

Only ravening chaos was there at first
Wherein enthroned sat it's overlord
Kronos the terrible immortal god
Ruling with a malignant iron heart...

Then came the fire giving shape into Gaia
The immortals took their place on the peak
Of mighty Olympus and in Erebus deep
The sky unfolded wings and night came creeping in...

How wonderfully shines the living light
The first daybreak at the dawn of time
On anvils divine a mortal world is forged
Cosmogenesis, the mystic maelstorm

The valleys evergreen crossed by rivers crystalline
Became the palaces of Nymphs
The mystic wind that first blew through the woods
Taught the Satyrs to sing...

And in the depths of the sea, in chambers of ebony
Cyclopses and Titants dwell, held in thrall by Zeus
Hail the fathergod that would raise the progeny of Chaos
Into the light, away from tyranny and into the day!

How wonderfully shines the living light
The first daybreak at the dawn of time
On anvils divine a mortal world is forged
Cosmogenesis, the mystic maelstorm

Cold black curls frame her ivory face
The chiseled features of an Aphrodite in tears
Her body trembles, as she takes one last walk
Magnificent and beautiful in it's fragile elegance...

One last walk through the cloisters of home
To see her little white doves flying around
To see the sun shimmering cross the Aegean sea
To smell the fragrant thyme of the hills in spring

O byzantine princess wither will you go?
Thou art too young too radiant to be a wife
How does your heart bear to leave this land
And marry a barbarian as your father did command?

Her eyes are the color of cinnamon and honey
Her garments glimmer gold in the summer time
What sad fate awaits thee fair maid? Why do you cry?
Fair and desperate thou art – like Helen of Troy...

Highborn she may be but nothing but a pawn
In the grander scheme of imperial politics
And so she has to go, as will so many more
To seal a pact with europe's barbarian lords

She took with her the arts, the light of her fatherland
A dowry far more great than gold and jewels combined
And she brought to distant lands the grace that delivered
Europe from the night and raised her to the sunlit sky...
